Hello. Hi, how are you doing? Not too bad. How are you? Right? Uh Ready, ready to rock. I think I'm just having a look at my slides here. Ok. Um Can you upload them with the present now button? So let me just see. Mhm. So do I share my window or uh you can share your window or you can share the actual powerpoint slide, whatever is easier for you. Uh just a share tab share, entire screen, share window share PDF. Uh is the powerpoint in PDF. It's no, it's just on um powerpoint powerpoint itself. Maybe try to share your screen then. Ok. Metal, a little bit weird casting powerpoints for some reason. Thank you very much for coming. Thank you for doing that. No bother. Thanks for, thanks for having me. No worries at all. I was wondering um the second one was planned to be on Thursday. Are we still, are you still good to go ahead with the? Yeah, I II mean I'm still happy to do it on Thursday. Um Yeah, I think we do just cause that's the dates we put out and yeah. No, that, that, that sounds fine. That's brilliant. Um, let me see if you can. No. Can you see that? Yeah, that's perfect. Ok. And does that look normal? Yeah. Ok. Um, yeah, Thursday should be fine. I was, I was on call last Thursday evening. They were just a bit short so I had to, uh, cancel the session. But, um, no, it should be fine for Thursday. I think I'm on call next Thursday evening too, but hopefully I'll get an hour to sort of present. Um, I mean, the slide shouldn't really take an hour to, well, you know, it should take just over half an hour, maybe so. Ok. Um, I don't want to keep everybody all night like, so, no, that's fine. You're a lot busier than most of us. So you just, you just let us know if, uh, if there's a certain day that you can do. Um, is there many people signed up to, to come into? Uh, I'll need to double check because I'm not sure if the all the sign ups from last Thursday will come into this session. We've got it circulating in your group chats right now. So. Ok, fingers crossed it. Be ok. And it's from year one to year five. Is it or, or uh, yeah, I think it's just for anyone to be honest. Uh, one second, let me have a look. Oh, to be fair, I mean, we have 32 registration should be good. Oh, ok. Ok. Ok. I'm just gonna, um, turn my camera off for one minute. I'll be back. Good bye. Bye bye. Ok. Ok. I've just sent around, um, back on, on the socials one more time just to see if you can pick up any more people. Two people in already. I think it, by seven o'clock, a lot of people will have the reminder set. So you get a few more there. No problem. So how's your experience with orthopedics? Been so far? Uh, good. I mean, I was in the Royal for a while. I worked on the there. So it's, I'm up in five at the moment and it's definitely a bit of a slower pace and five days in Edinburgh. Um, the Edinburgh job's pretty gnarly, like I would say, especially for somebody who's, you know, not on SPR. So, um, you're kind of, it's a very steep learning curve but it means that when you go somewhere like Fife that you're pretty much well equipped to handle most things, which is pretty good, but it's a good job. Like, so definitely, definitely better than any other job I think in the hospital. You know, if you're not really medically inclined or, or there is definitely the road for you if you know, it's a bit of fun at least. Yeah. No, absolutely. Do you prefer sort of the trauma or? Uh, I like arthroplasty. Like, I like doing hips and stuff. Um, the problem is good too. Like, it's good. For your skills and things like that. But I think like, longevity wise, you know, arthroplasty is a lot better, um, trauma too. You have to look after them for weeks and weeks and it's old people who are about 90 you know, who have got chronic issues. But, uh, arthropathy is a nice job, you know, working on the and basically so. Pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I'm still to my orthopedic placements in about two weeks, three week. So, like, uh, that'll be more for you or? I'm in the, I'm in the, the Royal Edinburgh. Ok. That would be good. Should be fun. Yeah. Uh, you'll enjoy it. Um, make sure I get the, the and stuff because, yeah, good to sort of see the stuff, you know, the job is a lot different, you know, the f, just kind of pick up all the, uh, all the ward stuff. But when the Regs head a theater that's where you should be going if you wanna, I think about a job and, you know, so, absolutely. It's a shame we only get about two weeks of it because they, they put it alongside Renal. It's quite a strange mixture when I was in UNI, I think we only got a week and it was split between it and rheumatology. So, I had a few days at most time. It's kind of one of those, those ones that you don't really get a handle of. I think when you're in uni, it's more so medical and I think more so, but a good eye opener, I think it does make sense to put it alongside rheumatology more so than renal. But yeah, I know. It's just kind of like bone and muscle, you think, you think? But I think we got about, uh, we got six more people in, we'll give it another two minutes and then we can get started. No, you let me know.
